Where Are They Now? Paolo Di Canio
Posted on 27 March 2018.
Whether members of the Claret & Blue refer to him as a cult hero or a West Ham United club legend, Italian striker Paolo Di Canio was certainly one of the more memorable stars to turn out at the Boleyn Ground, doing so between the years of 1999 and 2003 and scoring nearly 50 goals in the process.

Real answers please – not political window dressing
Posted on 27 March 2018.
Mayor of London Sadiq Khan’s meeting with Karren Brady yesterday looks very much like the tea and biscuits meeting he’d claimed he wanted to avoid.

Posted on 25 March 2018.
It didn’t take long did it – Manu Lanzini scored for Argentina against Italy…is pictured with Messi and is wanted by Barcelona! Big sigh.

Rice decision is bad news
Posted on 23 March 2018.
Declan Rice’s decision not to even consider swapping alleigance from the Republic to England is a blow for Gareth Southgate and whoever follows him into the international manager’s job.
